Hidden Meadows is rural estate-property HVAC along the I-15 corridor, large single-family homes plus separate guesthouse, casita, and outbuilding equipment on the same parcel. Inland-valley heat pushes triple digits in summer, and the SDG&E high-risk fire zone designation drives equipment-placement and ember-screening considerations on every install.. Inland ducts accumulate dust from Santa Ana winds, construction, and occasional wildfire smoke.
Is duct cleaning really worth it?
Done right and not too often — yes. EPA says ducts should be cleaned when there's visible mold, pest activity, or heavy dust. Every 5 to 7 years is typical for most homes. Every year is usually a salesman, not a technician.
